Participatory design is an attitude about a force for change in the
creation and management of environments for people. Its strength
lies in being a movement that cuts across traditional professional
boundaries and cultures. Its roots lie in the ideals of a
participatory democracy where collective decision-making is highly
decentralized throughout all sectors of society, so that all
individuals learn participatory skills and can effectively
participate in various ways in the making of all decisions that
affect them. This collection represents the author's case studies
in urban and small town environments in Australia, Brazil, Japan,
Mexico and the United States. They illustrate a variety of
community participation methods that can be adapted for use in
different environmental settings. This book can be beneficial to
architects, planners, local authorities, public officials, and
citizens who wish to make it possible for people to be involved in
shaping and managing their environment.
